Audio playback synchrony for information handling systems

A first information handling system, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• detect a second information handling system that supports audio playback synchronization;
• determine that the second information handling system is in a same room as the first information handling system;
• allocate, based on the determination that the second information handling system is in the same room as the first information handling system, a first time period for a first acknowledgement information to be received from the second information handling system in response to first audio information for a first audio session transmitted by the first information handling system;
• transmit the first audio information for the first audio session to the second information handling system;
• receive the first acknowledgement information during the first time period from the second information handling system;
• and
• generate audio for the first audio session using a transducer of the first information handling system based on the first audio information, after receiving the first acknowledgement information.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for causing a first information handling system to perform steps comprising:
• detecting a second information handling system that supports audio playback synchronization;
• determining that the second information handling system is in a same room as the first information handling system;
• allocating, based on the determination that the second information handling system is in the same room as the first information handling system, a first time period for a first acknowledgement information to be received from the second information handling system in response to first audio information for a first audio session transmitted by the first information handling system;
• transmitting the first audio information for the first audio session to the second information handling system;
• receiving the first acknowledgement information during the first time period from the second information handling system;
• and
• generating audio for the first audio session using a transducer of the first information handling system based on the first audio information, after receiving the first acknowledgement information.
